Hello from KC..
Hi, my name is Alan, and I'm a 250 addict.
I just purchased a 2008 GZ250; my 9th motorcycle, and 5th 250. I'm generally more of a sport-tourer rider (2nd gen Ninja 250s, Concours) but I wrecked a bike last fall (my beloved G650GS) outside of Mena, AR, and screwed up my left arm so I can't stretch to reach sportbike handlebars. So, to get back riding again I bought the GZ. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Hello from KC..
Welcome, man. You're in good company. I've never owned anything larger than a 250 and I've had 6 bikes.

Re: Hello from KC..
Awesome. I must have been thinking of someone else. I don't remember the guy's name, but he was younger and did a custom fiberglass tail mod or something and had those dirtbike headlights that look like a some weird lizard-esque eyeballs.
Either way, glad to have you over here. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

For the moment, the GZ's my ride. It met my requirements exactly; an easy reach to the bars, light and easy to move around. Also, it's got more than enough guts to run around town, but it's not really a highway bike, so I won't be tempted to hit the road so easily (I know, you can tour on anything but the GZ and Ninja pretty much exactly bracket the "run comfortably at 75mph all day" line). I'm keeping the stock gearing for that reason, too. |
